'VB.Net program to set the last access time
'of a specified file in UTC format.
Imports System.IO
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Try
Dim dt1 As DateTime
Console.WriteLine("Time before set last access time in Utc Format:")
dt1 = File.GetLastAccessTime("sample.txt")
Console.WriteLine("Last Access Time of file(sample.txt) : " & dt1)
File.SetLastAccessTimeUtc("sample.txt", DateTime.Now)
Console.WriteLine("Time After set last access time in Utc Format:")
dt1 = File.GetLastAccessTime("sample.txt")
Console.WriteLine("Last Access Time of file(sample.txt) : " & dt1)
Catch ex As FileNotFoundException
Console.WriteLine("File does not exist")
End Try
End Sub
End Module

Time before set last access time in Utc Format:
Last Access Time of file(sample.txt) : 09-01-2021 21:13:35
Time After set last access time in Utc Format:
Last Access Time of file(sample.txt) : 09-01-2021 21:24:26

In the above program, we created the module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.
Here, we set the last access time of "sample.txt" file in Utc format using SetLastAccessTimeUtc() method of File class. Then we printed the updated last access time on the console screen.
